Cyber Monday South Africa deals: all the game and tech specials you need to know [Update]

We will be updating this article throughout the day to reflect new and interesting specials from different stores. If you have any tips or information on Cyber Monday or Cyber Week sales, please email info@memeburn.com.

Update 1: We’ve added Raru’s EA Games sale.

After last week’s humongous Black Friday sale, South African ecommerce stores have adopted another American ‘tradition’: Cyber Monday. Generally regarded as the spill-over of Black Friday, Cyber Monday is definitely more geared to those who love their electronics — which is exactly why we like it.

Below are all the participating retailers and online stores offering Cyber Monday specials, so have a look and be sure to let us know if you spot any other deals.

Dion Wired

Dion Wired didn’t have the best time online on Friday, with the site down in the early hours of the morning, but it’s making up for it today.

The company’s offering a host of Apple specials and a particularly interesting deal on the Fitbit Flex fitness tracker. See all of its “Blue Monday” specials below:
